NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ganeti package and not the ganeti package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

The _UpgradeBeforeConfigurationChange function in lib/client/gnt_cluster.py in Ganeti 2.10.0 before 2.10.7 and 2.11.0 before 2.11.5 uses world-readable permissions for the configuration backup file, which allows local users to obtain SSL keys, remote API credentials, and other sensitive information by reading the file, related to the upgrade command.
